The Olympics

Am I the only one who is annoyed by the obsession
with national team accumulation of medals?
It takes the fun out of it.

It's not a war, folks!
:cool:

I totally am with you. It is so irritating.

Gotta agree with you. And its kind of hard for most countries to compete with the U.S. and other big ones. And I don't like that. It should be fair for 'em all.

But on the olympic subject: What's everyone's favorite event?

I like halfpipe, and slalom skiing, and others. Except Ice dancing...that's boring.

I like the summer olympics best and my favorite event is the pole vaulting.

but if i had to chose a fav event in winter it would be halfpipe.

Ahh, but how funny is it when those ice dancers/figure skaters fall on their arse!!

It just seems like there are so many events have corrupt judging, or judging that's incosistent. Why have judging for events that don't need it? (Like distance ski jumping)

Judo and Locross are my favorite olympic events

Speed skating is cool

I like all the skating.

Well it appears that something fishy is going on. Details:
